Respondent: Mr Gareth Underwood
Diss is unusual in its sense of being both a market town with a large catchment area, and also is a quiet but thriving historic country idyll.
WHILST I APPLAUD PLANS FOR DEVELOPMENT, i believe a far more radical approach to housing design should be considered.
Currently Diss centre, is littered, with tarmac covered car parks, brownfield sites, the former sites of stick and lathe cottages.
Mount street , chapel st , Shelfanger road x2, Church street .
It is I believe the hegemony of Car Parking use, over the need for Housing, that is bringing unnecessary pressure to bare upon scenic wildlife rarities such as Parish Fields, now earmarked as IN RESERVE for potential development.
To date 2600 local people object to any development, please respect their wishes.
MY SOLUTION,
Bite the bullet , be brave and reclaim all brownfield sites from the centre of Diss, and build high density several floored flats for the over 55s , warden managed, to include a daytime nursery and creche, a community room, and canteen, Hot desk facilities for daytime business start ups ,
it would also help build an integrated environment of young and old. 500 people could easily be accomadated in this way, with current existing land.
At the rail station , the same , but bigger and higher. The existing Industrial silos would help keep it in visual balance.
The current scourge of Essex style low density curvy linear , car and driveway centric housing, is a blight that should have died a death in the 70s. Sadly it didnt!
This is what is proposed by SCOTT PROPERTIES , and must be resisted at all costs, It is not the way forward in any scenario.
"Pasivhaus" principles must be applied in any future housing development. please refer "Goldsmith walk Norwich".
WHAT TO DO WITH THE CARS?
at Diss station 24 car stacking systems must be employed, also at TESCOS , ALDI, and MORRISONS,
A more substantial Stacking system at the train station, and on the east west, west east axis of Victoria road A 1066 ie Roydon and Frenze Scole, 2 more stacking car parks
A PARK and RIDE Bus Shuttle system could operate.
